An Ancient Prophecy, a Secret Destiny, an Incredible Fantasy Adventure.

On the first day of the Year of the Dragon, Master Ming Wu, a Chinese dragon disguised as a mysterious elderly gardener, makes orphan Little Tiger his son and heir, secretly putting the fate of the world into the boy's hands. Suddenly finding his life in terrible danger, Little Tiger must flee China, indeed the Asian continent, for the safety of North America -- Tarpon Springs, Florida, to be exact -- where his destiny awaits.

After the Dragon King's ultimate sacrifice, Little Tiger learns that life in America isn't exactly a dragon parade. He knows he must return to China to reclaim his stolen inheritance, but with servants of the Beast Witches searching for him, he can't go anywhere. Until the first full moon of the New Year, a remote bayou in Tarpon Springs is the only place where he and his two dragon hatchlings can hide. Little Tiger gradually accepts his eccentric guardians and even appreciates the salt marshes and fresh springs of his coastal refuge. But on his 13th birthday, even as his enemies find the hidden bayou and nearly destroy his new home, he learns the truth about his destiny and awakens a powerful magic sleeping inside him.

The Adventure About an Orphan Chinese Dragon King in America Continues.

After a painful bonding to his dragon Sara, Little Tiger summons the Queen of Beast Witches for guidance. She casts a binding spell on his mind, an enchantment taking his blood memory hostage just as he begins learning how the music of dragons opens an ancient network of traveling passages. To break the spell, Little Tiger must use these hidden magic tunnels, but fear cripples him until a shocking betrayal nearly kills one of his Watchwarden guardians. The young king seeks a legendary Immortal rumored to aid those in desperate need. But as fate would have it, the mysterious woman is much more than what she appears to be.

The Adventure About an Orphan Chinese Dragon King in America Continues.

After a 3-month journey to the Five Realms of Twilight, Little Tiger and his dragon companion Sara are ready to make a stand against the Beast Witch Queen holding his blood memory hostage. As the young king prepares and trains, he begins to have visions of the secrets hidden in his Beijing garden, his seat of power seized by the servants of Chaos. Time keeps him from China. Duty keeps him from his best friend Mandy, dying of cancer, despite all efforts (magic and otherwise) to save her. And when Little Tiger and his Watchwardens finally face the Queen of Beast Witches, they do not see the trap set for them until it is too late. And Sara may have to pay for their freedom with her life.

That night, Lily's careful examination of the coin yields unexpected results. To her surprise, it transports her to the Moon Realm, the setting of Uncle Ebb's bedtime tales. Lily is thrilled to meet the horse-sized, leonine Rinn and the lunamancers of Dain. But something is wrong. The inhabitants of the moons are no longer allies, and the heroic characters from the tales either don’t exist or are known only as myths. And no one seems to know what’s become of Ebb.

As a fourteen-year-old Jewish boy who had rarely ventured outside his small, remote village, Moyshe Rekhtman may seem an unlikely escape artist. But his iron will and quick wit allowed him to survive when all seemed lost. Staging escapes from death camps and avoiding Nazi pursuit through the frozen Ukrainian countryside-all while facing the loss of his family, famine, constant threat of capture, torture, and execution - would be a monumental task for the strongest of men. Despite his mild manners, emaciated body, and poor vision, he evaded the death squads in Nazi-occupied Ukraine for four years. Moyshe's Holocaust memoir is a remarkable example of human fortitude during a time when many welcomed an end to their suffering.

In 1893 Fridtjof Nansen set sail for the North Pole in the Fram, a ship specially designed to be frozen into the polar ice cap, withstand its crushing pressures, and travel north with the sea's drift. Experts said that such a ship couldn't be built and that the mission was tantamount to suicide. Farthest North, first published in 1897 to great popular acclaim, is the stirring, first-person account of the Fram and her historic voyage. Nansen tells of his expedition's struggle against snowdrifts, ice floes, polar bears, scurvy, gnawing hunger, and the seemingly endless polar night that transformed the Fram into a "cold prison of loneliness." Once it became clear that the Fram could drift no farther, Nansen and crew member Hjalmar Johansen set out on a harrowing fifteen-month sledge journey to reach their destination by foot, which required them to share a sleeping bag of rotting reindeer fur and to feed the weaker sled dogs to the stronger ones. In the end they traveled 146 miles farther north than any Westerner had gone before, representing the greatest single gain in polar exploration in four centuries.
